I am interested in learning how to make simple, 2-D games using Cocoa, but I have no idea for where to look. Is there a step-by-step tutorial somewhere that I can't seem to find, or a good book on the subject?

Had a little look on google for you came across this (http://macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2006/12/19/building-a-game-engine-with-cocoa.html?CMP=OTC-13IV03560550&ATT=Building+a+Game+Engine+with+Cocoa) from O'Reily.
And also this (http://makemacgames.com/mac-game-programming-links/).

I looked over the sites and I couldn't find tutorials for Objective-C Cocoa. Is there a good book, or a another tutorial?

Well I had a look on amazon for you and there's this (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Game-Programming-Premier-Press-Development/dp/1931841187/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1250172383&sr=8-1), it is quite old though.
If you want to just learn how to make games then look at this (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Game-Programming-Course-Technology-Development/dp/159200136X/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1250172492&sr=8-9), it is expensive but I got one myself and found it was really informative.
Hope this helps.

Seems to me you need to learn at least three technologies here:
Objective-C
Cocoa
OpenGL
